Take for example “toxic masculinity”. Literally taken, that word means that masculinity is toxic.

Does "hawaiian pizza" imply that all pizza is from Hawaii, or just that this one particular pizza here is from Hawaii?

"Ugh, gross pizza!"

Does that imply that the issue is that you find pizza gross or does this statement only refer to this one specific slice because you don't like the specific topping on it?

If it was hawaiian I'd assume the latter

Orange Soda must imply that all sodas taste like orange

Fun fact: Hawaiian Pizza has nothing to do with Hawaii. It was created by a Greek guy in Ontario after he was inspired by the Chinese-Canadian dishes that he worked on making. He chose the name Hawaiian because he got his canned pineapples from the Hawaiian Pineapple Company. The dish itself is a Canadian abomination.
